Chapter 140: Civil War

Looking at the arrows scattered on the ground, Zhou Wenwu was overjoyed, and picked up one first: "Hey! Now it's okay, don't worry about bringing enough crossbow arrows! ”

Although Anna has a deep family background, but the control of firearms is different after all, there is no relationship like Zhu Qingyun, she only got two pistols, one crossbow per person, but crossbow arrows are limited, and now these arrows can be used as crossbow arrows with a little modification, and a few of us will directly sweep them away!

After walking through the section of the tomb where Sun Qing and I triggered the mechanism, it was a natural cave again, and the weathered corpses at our feet were still lying quietly on the ground!

Zhou Wenwu and several people immediately surrounded him again, looked at it for a long time, and judging from the weathered clothes on the corpse and the vague inscriptions in the tomb, it can almost be concluded that this is where the Mausoleum of Emperor Qi is located!

There was no other discovery on the corpse, and Anna took a flashlight to look at the link between the tomb and the mountain, and said: "It seems that there is a miniature earthquake zone under the Eagle Hook Cliff, and this section of the tomb should be stuck here after the earthquake broke off!" ”

We went about 100 meters deep into the seventh cave according to the drawing, and then we were blocked by a pile of rocks, according to the drawings, after passing this pile of rocks, we went all the way down to the largest empty area!

"Let's do it!"

Due to its age, almost every cave passage is intermittent, but the reason why this seventh passage was chosen is precisely because it only has this one accumulation!

I was injured, so I hid aside to get free, Anna took a flashlight to direct everyone, he explored the background of the family, so that he has an insight into the various mountain terrain structures, the caves in the Eagle Hook Cliff are old, need to guard against the possibility of landslides!

With Lu Hong's strong labor, although there were many stones piled up, we finally succeeded in opening the gap, and Zhou Wenwu drilled through it first:

"Hey! You see, I'm really going to find that fox's lair! ”

After the rocks, it is still a natural cave, but the ground is full of fresh paw prints, with the gradual deepening, the terrain in the cave also obviously began to slope downward, about dozens of meters later, the light pillar of the strong flashlight came to the end, by the light to see, it is a bend, a piece of broken tomb wall stone bricks fell to the ground, obviously the tomb road and the mountain combined!

"That's it, after the front, it should be the main burial chamber!"

Anna took the drawings and looked at them, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and several of us also quickened our pace, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I reminded: "Be careful!" Something is wrong? ”

"What's wrong?"

"Some of it went too well!" I said, "That fox hasn't shown up yet!" Don't be careful! ”

"Buzz!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sudden buzzing sound from the backpack behind Anna, and several of us were startled, Zhou Wenwu said with a dark face: "I said Miss Foreign Countries!" Let's not bring such a scary one! Get your high-tech done! It's like a ghost crying! ”

"I didn't touch it!"

Anna hurriedly took off her backpack, and it was the detector that was beeping: "It's the magnetic field here that affects the signal!" ”

As she spoke, Anna took the detector and stepped back, only five or six steps back before the beeping gradually subsided, only five steps away, the influence of the magnetic field has been so obviously improved, I couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly took out the compass, and the pointer on it also turned rapidly like a fan!

"The obvious change in the magnetic field shows that we are in the right direction! The front is definitely the heart of the ethereal game! It must be the main burial chamber! Let's go! ”

Due to the seismic zone, the magnetic field changes

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The transformation was in our prediction, and we were not too entangled in surprise, Anna turned off the detector completely, and after reinstalling it, we went deep again!

At that corner, the flashlight shone away, and the cave in front of me was replaced by a huge tomb, and the broken stone bricks on the ground were the tomb walls of this tomb! Due to the turbulence of the leylines, the tomb in front of you is incomplete, and there is no narrow tomb passage, as if a dungeon has appeared!

Even in the darkness of this underground, the strong flashlight has a range of nearly 30 meters, but a few pillars of light shine through, but you can't see the end of the tomb in front of you!

"This tomb is so big!"

Zhou Wenwu couldn't help but exclaim, several of us also cautiously walked to the depths, the wide and strong flashlights on both sides could not see where the tomb wall was, looking up, Jing was nearly ten meters high, and there were many murals carved on the top of the entire tomb! And the scale is quite huge, it is not easy to see the whole picture with a strong flashlight!

"Be careful, let's see the situation first!"

I reminded everyone not to go to the center easily, and the flashlights of several people also turned back, landing on the stone walls on both sides, and I saw that they were also covered with murals, but they were not the stone carvings that we imagined to praise the achievements of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but some strange contents that were slightly weird and unintelligible!

The first thing I saw was a large number of figures kneeling, but what they were prostrating was incomprehensible, a vague ellipse, according to the size of the figures in the mural, more like the sun, the moon, or a lake or ocean!

And the second mural is even more puzzling, the characters in it obviously have the characteristics of women, and they are also kneeling and worshipping, but their posture is really weird, they are facing the sky on their backs, their legs are wide open, and their arms are raised high, as if they are in awe of the gods, but there are no gods in the painting, but a hanging city!

We explored nearly a few tens of meters along the stone wall on one side, and most of the murals were seen, and most of the content was sacrifices or some special rituals, all of which were incomprehensible! And the inscription that I don't see much, but at the moment even Anna doesn't recognize it, in her words, the inscription on it is not the ancient characters of the Northern Qi Dynasty or the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is more like ancient Sanskrit, and it is not Sanskrit that is often used, but like some kind of mantra or mantra! At best, she can only make a rough guess!

Seeing the end, Anna was also confused, she took out the drawings and compared them again, and said: "According to the drawings and the depth of our travel, this is not like a tomb, but like a city!" A literal dungeon! ”

"Dungeon!? But this city is inevitably a little empty, right? There are no buildings at all! ”

I turned and shone my flashlight into the depths, and everywhere the light went, it was empty! Zhou Wenwu also chimed in:

"Not bad! If it is a dungeon, there must be other buildings, but this place is more like an altar! An oversized altar! Or an ancient temple or something! Isn't the content of those murals also some kind of sacrifice? And there should be more than one! ”

"It is not unheard of in ancient times that underground temples were built! It is mostly used to town the dragon vein and pray for the fortune of the country! Of course, some are only for the sake of sacrificing the temple, the ancients believed that the temple dedicated to the ancestors was built underground, which is more in line with the way of yin and yang, and can achieve the role of communicating and praying with the ancestors! But these are at least the actions of the imperial court that has a hundred years of national fortune, it is difficult to become the so-called Qi Emperor's Mausoleum, which is the ancestral temple that the Northern Qi Emperor failed to complete! ”

I talked about the doubts in my heart, and Zhou Wenwu immediately said: "Hi! It doesn't matter what it is, just look inside! Whether it is a temple or an altar, there must always be a place of worship or a place of sacrifice! ”

After that, Zhou Wenwu directly held the crossbow in his hand, and walked towards the darkness in the depths without saying anything, I wanted to stop it, but there was no other discovery at the moment, so I could only take a risk! It's just the mechanism that I encountered at the beginning, and the fox who hasn't shown up

, but it has to be guarded against!

"Sun Qing! Follow him! ”

I am now unable to move, so I had to let Sun Qing follow, and a few of us stayed in place, illuminating the two with the light of the flashlight, as the two continued to go deeper, the figures of the two became more and more blurred, and soon reached the limit of our flashlight:

"Monk! What did you find out that you didn't? ”

"No! This tomb is so big, even if there is an altar, it has to be in the middle! I'll look deeper! Do not worry! ”

I sighed helplessly, so I had to take the flashlight and approach the two of them, so that they always kept within the range of light! But as soon as I took a step, I heard Zhou Wenwu startled:

"Oops! I grass... Dead person! There are dead people here! Fast... A lot of dead people! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't take care of it anymore, Anna and I hurriedly rushed up, only to see a dried corpse lying under Zhou Wenwu's flashlight! A dried corpse, to be exact! Lying on the ground, there were more than a dozen of them in the range of the flashlight, and all the clothes on their bodies were intact, even the corpses were not rotten, and their shriveled faces could already be seen in our position!

When we got closer, we saw that although the corpses were not rotten, the clothes on their bodies were mostly tattered, and it seemed that they had gone through a vicious battle before they died! The dried corpse on the side even has a long knife stuck in the body!

"Tianguan, I really let you say, all the dead bodies here are not rotten! Lao Chen, look at the clothes they are wearing, are they from the Northern and Southern Dynasties? ”

"Looking at the style of regulation and sewing patterns, it should be the Northern and Southern Dynasties!"

When Zhou Wenwu heard this, he couldn't help but look around the dried corpse: "More than a thousand years of dried corpses!" If you take one out, it's worth a lot of money! ”

"Huh! Monk, you still die of this heart! The things here, you just take a look, ordinary corpses don't even have a coffin, not to mention the power of pattern feng shui, the reason why it can not rot for thousands of years is just because the magnetic field here has too much influence, but whenever you take out the Eagle Hook Cliff, it will be weathered in an instant, just like the one found in the tomb! ”

Zhou Wenwu heard this, but he was not discouraged, and continued: "Since this is the case, then find someone who is nourished by feng shui, and if it is properly preserved, it should be able to be taken out!" ”

"How are you obsessed with money! What are we going to do! Forgot! ”

Under my snort, Zhou Wenwu sneered awkwardly: "What, isn't this a good fortune!" Don't be in vain! Besides, I'm just saying, didn't you start this either, what are you anxious about! ”

"Humph! Thanks to you for not starting, once there is an external biological magnetic field contact, these dried corpses are afraid that they will be raised in an instant! Don't touch them! Judging by the current situation, there should be no mechanism here! It's just that there is no civil war in this dungeon! Take a look around and see if there are any clues! ”

Normally, the corpses that appear to die tragically in the tomb are only the craftsmen who built the tombs, but at the moment, looking at the clothes of their servants, they are obviously all palace maids and eunuchs in the court, and even guards in armor, it is a civil war!

As soon as I had this thought, Zhou Wenwu shouted again: "Hey! Look, there's a monk here! By... Split up! ”

I followed the sound and looked, and saw that Zhou Wenwu was a monk who was hacked to death with a knife, and as his flashlight moved, the number of dead bodies revealed in the depths became more and more alarming, monks, guards, palace maids, eunuchs, horizontal and vertical, a mess! Thanks to the magnetic field of the ethereal game, the last picture of the fierce battle thousands of years ago has been preserved, and it clearly appears in our eyes at this moment! It was so tragic that several of us fell into silence!

What is the reason for the conflict between the guards and monks hiding in this dungeon, even the palace maids and eunuchs have not been spared!?
